Greetings and welcome to my website! Thanks for stopping by. A little bit about me:
I am a professional musician & I have done many things in my 50+ years as a guitarist. I am grateful to have been given the opportunities to do what I love. I balance out my time between teaching music and performing music. Having recently moved to Lewes, Delaware, I am looking for new music connections as I breathe the ocean air. I most recently finished a month-long July gig at the Milton Theatre, playing guitar for the musical: Grease.
Things I have done in guitar life:
- Toured the USA playing contradance music in The Organic Family Band
- Played in the pit orchestra for the shows Fiddler On The Roof, Li’l Abner, the Christians, Tom Sawyer and most recently, Grease.
- Led the band Charm City Klezmer for 10 years.
- Recorded 4 CD’s as a leader and played on over 20 as a side-musician
- Staff teacher at the Nation Guitar Summer Workshop entitled DayJams, for 12 years.
- Led my Trio for 10+ years.
- I Love playing 1970's Pop Tunes solo guitar style.
Please check out the music. You can find it on Bandcamp.

This is an original composition I wrote entitled "Breathe". It seems very relevant to our current world situation which has touched everyone on the planet....sometimes we need to connect with our breath...to ground us....to center us....to remind us that we are alive.
